It almost makes me want to get VD, so I can join these people. The jogging guy towards the end looks like Bill O'Reilly... VD for me, see!

They wouldn't say why the spot was so bad, because that would have involved giving us "uncomfortable" information. I asked an adult what VD was, and he told me it had something to do with removing your sandals in public. Never thought I'd see this again!

One of the things I notice (being gay, myself) is that the song is very Broadway, very 1930's-Busby-Berkeley; something to make old-school gay campers sit up and take notice. I can't help but wonder if that's how they reached out to include the gay community in the pre-QUEER-EYE era. I mean, obviously gays were at risk just like anyone else but they certainly couldn't depict a vapidly smiling muscle-bound body builder arranging pansies in a vase shaped like Michaelangelo's DAVID.... I love to perform the song, accompanied on my banjo, in the streets of the French Quarter. Always good for a few tips! BROADWAY! mrbentley 2005-03-20 06:46:47 2005-03-20 06:46:47 5 VD -- is for everybody Not just for the few Anyone can share VD With someone nice as you VD -- is for everybody Darlin' have no doubt That anyone can get VD That's what it's all about Lyrics 5 Rob Pascual 2005-06-07 15:15:03 2005-06-07 15:15:03 This would be a great ad campaign for HIV. Bring this campaign back, but for HIV 5 Leshaun Fossett 2005-08-01 13:40:53 2005-08-01 13:40:53 Wow, These are some really cheery people with an STD. Kind of reminds me of the ads you see today featuring people with Herpes. AS odd as this PSA is I believe it probablly achieved its intent by encouraging people with VD not to be ashamed and to see a doctor. Sexual Disease never seemed this FUN! 5 MediaWhore 2005-08-25 18:42:55 2005-08-25 18:42:55 VD seems to be really pleasent according to this I gots to get me some of that VD 4 dinomole 2005-10-04 17:40:17 2005-10-04 17:40:17 I just like the song. It has a Peggy Lee "Is That All There Is?" feel to it. You know, torchy. Everything is Music (that's right Bjork) 4 Red Ryder 2005-10-06 06:28:52 2005-10-06 06:28:52 Very Very Strange and bizzare Strange 3 Amckinn0724 2005-10-25 13:24:17 2005-10-25 13:24:17 Music and theme very much in the style of Kurt Weill. Effective. In the style of Kurt Weill 5 ERD 2005-10-25 15:56:50 2005-10-25 15:56:50 I actually remember this PSA from when I was six years old. I remember seeing it and being very afraid of everyone after that for fear that they could give me VD, even though I had no idea what VD was. I just knew it was bad and you could even get it from a little baby. It made an impression 4 DamianNY 2005-11-11 10:51:57 2005-11-11 10:51:57 The film is quite bizarre VD seems to be a cool thing for everybody aldo its irony maybe works at the sense that you feel that you could be next but still the music puts you in a very romantic mood which makes you want to be like the beautiful portraits of you girls and boys with VD. I ll rate it 5stars for the great song which puts you in a very mellow mood VD is beautiful 5 left wing films 2005-12-02 16:31:41 2005-12-02 16:31:41 Yes! I was not nuts! I was 6 years old when I saw this P.S.A in Washington State. I had no idea what VD was but I wanted it! Yes, it was for everyone. I so remember this I can still sing the song to this day. When I sing the song and tell people about this commerical they think I am crazy. (I am but that is beside the point). Finding this P.S.A has made me happy. I can't belive it! 5 mommymissy 2005-12-20 20:33:44 2005-12-20 20:33:44 I searched for years and years for this PSA. I even contacted the Ad Council (who said they'd mail me a VHS copy of it, but never did). I was 10 when it first aired, and I never forgot it, mostly because of the song. Like the other poster on here who had people think she was nuts when she'd tell them about this PSA, I, too, would get funny looks from people when I'd tell them about its existence. Now, I don't have to tell them anymore. I can show them. Now VD really *is* for everybody. ;) Eureka! 5 tesan 2006-01-09 23:59:27 2006-01-09 23:59:27 Thanks alot!(not). Just seeing the title has that silly jingle bouncing around in my head. I was almost 13 when this PSA hit and I agree that it mad me want to find out what VD was and how I could get some. A real classic example of how disconnected the two generations really were. They tried to make a "hip" warning and turned out a pro-VD ad instead. That DAM song is in my head now! 5 esalkin 2006-01-10 07:57:51 2006-01-10 07:57:51 I think this was more like 1979. Look at the Ad Council logo at the end: that logo wasn't adopted until the late 1970's 1969? Mewster 2007-03-18 14:06:22 2007-03-18 14:06:22 4 It should be noted that VD means 'Veneral Disease' which comes from Venus, the Goddess of Love. Now it is called STD or 'sexually transmitted disease'. This commercial was filmed in the 70's. In the jogging segment there is a 1970 Ford Maverick and an orange 1971-2 Dodge van, neither looks brand new. Also the violin player's sweater-shirt and hairstyle combo looks just like mine did circa '77-'78. Note the girl in the opening shot has feathered hair, made popular by Farrah Fawcett from the original Charlies's Angels. This ad is circa 1974. I saw this spot as 'yoot' in the 70's and I never forgot the song. It was played until the late 70's. By then it was dated by several years. At that time, there was no digital, so you could tell that a commercial or rerun was old by how scratchy, dirty and worn the film and soundtrack were. At an idle moment at work this song came to my head and I absently-mindedly started to softly sing it. Then I though, 'what if someone hears this?' 70's not 1969 OrygunState 2007-03-24 06:13:35 2007-03-24 06:13:35 5 I'd heard the song being played on the RETROcrush podcast, and the visuals (when combined with the song) make it even funnier. worth the download elocina 2007-03-25 18:20:45 2007-03-25 18:20:45 5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJzKOyG2LMI hilarious VD - The REMIX!
